THE LIGHT OLIVE SKIN TONE (WARM)

Here's a link to my color consults:

Merriam Style Club:

Find your skin undertone with color draping:

Color draping doesn't work? You're probably warm and delicate, watch this:

The four skin undertones:

About the lack of peach or pink in the skin...so true. If people have frequently asked you if you don’t feel well or you’re tired, you might have an olive undertone.

Merriam referring Mila's 'not so best colors' as friends luring her into toxic relationships is hilarious. That's some serious quarantine inner discourse, Mila!😂💓

[dianal]

I laughed aloud at "you have three kids, I have three kids". Truly a gem.

I was actually amazed when you toned down Mila's yellow/gold top. What you said about seeing her and not the top just made perfect sense. This is the best video on warm olive skin I have found and all the color examples have made so much sense for me! I love that you demonstrate colors to avoid and how you describe if a color looks apart or separate from the skin tone. You have a great eye for color and I imagine you are a very talented stylist.

I lowkey just understood some of my friendships from this video

[notimportanotimporta]

Dialogue between the colours and the girls was seriously hilarious. However, very good analogy, it helped me understand. I'm a social butterfly, except, i don't really like people 🤣

"you have 2 kids? I HAVE 3 KIDS"

I didn't realize I was olive skinned until I tried on this really light cool toned lavender colour and the green around my mouth and eyes jumped out at me I was so horrified, I looked like a goblin and I hadn't even noticed until that moment the amount of green in my skin

So helpful! Not enough olive representation in the beauty space! Its hard being green 🤓 👽 also, green pigment drops can work better than a green primer! I like temper’s liquid drops!

Cool olive version would be amazing to see too. My mom is one, and most colors make her skin seem utterly lifeless. She mainly dresses in muted greys 'cause "at least grey doesn't clash super bad". She kinda ends up looking mousy 'cause of it. Would be amazing to be able to give her some tips :)

You cracked me up with your personification conversations between the colors & the women

[Ojo]

It ALL makes sense! FINALLY! I was so confused when cool colors looked awful on me, but dark gold looked too intense, but Rosegold looked radiant, when I had a Yellow hue, yet yellow foundation was too much. I was so confused! Thank you so much for making this!

[heidihaeni]

Personifying the color palette made them make more sense than any other color system I've ever known. I'm looking forward to your next video in this same style.

[realTLC]

I've waited forever for someone to talk about fair olive skin. Thank you Merriam Style!!!

[linap]

Please do one for cool olive skin as well!😍 I have pale olive skin with a cool undertone and it’s so difficult to find colors that look good on me:(

[mszkamio]

OMG, OMG!!! What all light olive skin ladies on the Internet have been looking for!!😆😆😆Thank you!🙌🙌🙌 I’m medium contrast, cool olive and fall in the Soft Summer category. Makes a lot of sense why olive green and that warm mauve colour look so bad on me.😆 Peachy pink washes me out too as it blends with my skin tone too much.🤣

[Wajiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii]

This hairstyle suits you so well!! You look radiant.

[Britabie]

Revlon colourstay foundation in buff is a really nice light olive tone

[awesomesara]

"Not again, I'm not doing this okay?!" I need to have these conversations with my clothes.

[kats.]

Omg thank you SO freaking much for these light olive skin tone videos. So many people think lighter, or even just white people in general, simply cannot be olive. And its a bunch of hogwash! It took me YEARS to discover that I actually have olive skin and not just a yellow undertone. I always wondered why I always thought I looked so gray all the time! However, Im still not sure whether I am warm or cool olive. Im probably more neutral. This was super helpful! You've got a new subscriber! ❤👏
